San Antonio
A wall from the shallows to 40 m beside a fish-filled cavern
San Antonio is a stretch of coast close to Potos on Thassos, with room for 4-5 separate dives. Its centrepiece is a wall that starts just below the surface and runs down to 40 m, flanked by huge underwater rocks and a small cavern full of fish.

The dive
The wall begins at 4-5 m, so a dive can stay high on its upper face or work down the rock towards its foot at 40 m. Around it lie huge underwater rocks and a small cavern full of fish, where soft corals grow; together they give the San Antonio stretch its 4-5 different dive spots.
